<i>The Battle of San Romano</i>; <i>The Counterattack of Michelotto da
Cotignola</i><br>
c. 1455<br>
Wood panel<br>
H 1.82 m; W 3.17 mm<br>

<p>The victory by the Florentines over the Venetians at San Romano, in 1432, is
the theme of three panels painted by Uccello for the palace of Cosimo de Medici
at Florence (other episodes are in the Uffizi and National Gallery, London).
The rhythm of lances and legs conveys a sense of commotion in the army which is
described in a compact mass, with the artist making great use of masterly
foreshortening. This exercise in pure geometry is enlivened by lavish costumes,
which indicate that while Uccello took the theoretical experiments of the
Florentine Renaissance to an extreme, he did not entirely abandon the florid
forms of the Gothic tradition.</p>
